OnLoad sounds like that it what it would do... but I could be totally wrong.

Onload is where you can place all of the functions/actions that you want in your theme when it loads.

More stupid noob questions:
Loads from what? Does that include after an unlock? Coming out of any app?

I'm doing an animation of some png pics in html/javascipt and want it to reset and start over coming out from an unlock... would OnLoad do this?

I really appreciate the info. I had this theme that I did on my 3G, just trying to port it over to my 4S. I was hoping that DreamBoard would handle more of the animations, but it doesn't seem the case. But still, can add some neat stuff to it regardless.

Onload is when you launch the theme through dreamboard But you could add a function to the lockscreen so it runs when unlocking. And to fix your issue use insertview above wallpaper and put it in the onload section

Well guys, this probably isn't allowed here but I wanted to say another thanks to the guys in here for help. After 1 week of development I present iMetro Beta 4.
iMetro: Windows 8 on the iPad! [WIP]

Btw everyone. My theme Windows Vista for iPad is COMPLETE. I will release after I'm done testing

I am very new to DreamBoard but so far I am figuring it all out. I am running into a problem though. I am trying to make a scrollable allapps box in the middle.

Code:

This is all I have so far. Everything works great except for the scrolling app box. The red code is the app box.

You have two ViewTypes, one for Scroll view and one for Appgrid

I edited it for you in my quote

**bk301** · 02-10-2012, 09:10 PM

Thanks, did not see that. But there is still nothing.

**bk301** · 02-11-2012, 06:51 AM

I am really loving dreamboard on my ipad. Here is what I want to create with the all app box when its done. Basically you push the button and the all app box appears, when you push it again it disappears. Like I said earlier, I am very new to dreamboard and coding. I know the code above does not have anything about the button. I was trying to get the box to work first before I tried to add the button function. But if I could get help with both, that would be great.

Why do you have rotation set to 90?

**FrightDealer** · 02-11-2012, 02:06 PM

Anyone up for something....new?

I only use my Ipad homescreen in landscape mode and when I was putting the custom button on they all where sideways. So when I put that code in, it rotated them to the correct position.

So it looks like I missed this thread when I asked an earlier question, any chance I could get a quick response? I'm trying to modify a current theme to open Safari to a specific URL straight from the Springboard.

Dreamboard doesn't support the opening of specific URL's. The closest you can get is using

Code:

launch.com.apple.mobilesafari

My suggestion would be to use a AdvWebView and inside make an image as your button, and then whenever the user clicks it try target as "_blank" and see if you can actually do that. It will either open Safari, or it will open Google News inside the web view. Just a small suggestion and I didn't test it lol.

Edit: Nope.. oh well.
